Obsidian Dome

[Timmeh]

I've driven past the Obsidian Dome sign on 395 more than a hundred times and never bothered, so I decided to give it a shot. It reminded me a bit of the cinder cone area in Lassen. All comments welcome!

Neat - but not a place to slip and fall.

The Newberry Volcanic area up near Bend, OR has a big obsidian flow I have visited a couple of times. Really interesting to see but I have never really found good ways to shoot it. This Dome looks a bit more interesting. I like the extruded shapes in the first shot.

Talk about bad lands. Does not look like a place I would want to cross.

 

[Bob Denton]

Impressive looking.

Hey Tim,

I like your take. There are a few places where along the 395 it's easy to just keep driving. But with that said, I have stopped and shot the Obsidian Dome 5 or 6 years ago. It's an interesting area, and I really like what you got from it.

Really interesting images here , Tim.

Ok, #1 looks like something out of the Prometheus movie.

I like the chaos depicted in the first, with just enough sky to orient with.

Both are great!
Imho the second could benefit from some top crop, loosing the brown corners makes it stronger with mainly black BG...

Very nice.
